The cast on is the single most important thing to learn in knit. Why? Because, without it, you can’t start a project! The long tail cast on tutorial below shows one of the most versatile and common knit cast ons you will find.

The knit stitch is the most basic of all knit stitches. That’s why it’s called the knit stitch! You will use it for everything you do in knitting so learning it first and practicing it over and over until you are comfortable will ensure success in your knitting future.

e purl is a very subjective stitch. You will see many different versions and I don’t think anyone of them is better than the other. However, I do think you will find one is better for you than all the others. I’m sharing with you my purl, but if it doesn’t click for you, DON”T GIVE UP! Watch more videos, go to your LYS, find other ones to try. I promise, one will click and you’ll be good to go after that.

It’s finally time to learn your first stitch pattern! The stockinette is the most recognizable knit fabric. With knit on one side and purl stitches on the other, you will be using this stitch pattern for the rest of your knit life.

Using your crochet hook to put stitches on your needle means you don’t have to pre-measure yarn like the long tail cast on. Using your foundation chain knowledge, you’ll be mastering this cast on in no time!

This tutorial presents the first Knit For Crocheters project. The 1×1 Rib Knit Scarf. This scarf will test your skill at your knit and purl stitch as well as help you with reading and fixing stitches and mistakes that might happen during the project.
